This seems to be geared towards the medical community. What I liked, was there are colored cards that can be copied and kept in your medical binder that could be useful. The cards are yellow, blue & red, for different levels of contamination risks.

Introduction
All  dead  bodies  are  potentially  infectious  and  “STANDARD  PRECAUTIONS”  
should  be  implemented  for  every  case.
 
Although  most  organisms  in  the  dead  body  are  unlikely  to  infect  healthy  persons,  some  infectious  agents  may  be  transmitted  when  persons  are  in  contact  with  blood,  body  fluids  or  tissues  of  dead   body   of   person   with   infectious   diseases.   To   minimize   the   risks   of   transmission  of  known  and  also  unsuspected  infectious  diseases,  dead  bodies  
should be handled in such a way that workers’ exposure to blood, body fluids and tissues   is   reduced.   A   rational   approach   should   include   staff   training   and   education, safe working environment, appropriate safe work practices, the use of recommended safety devices and vaccination against hepatitis B.   ---CONTINUED---
